I like the current new buildings. Take away the parking lots and they are pretty cool looking IMO. They would look great in an urban location near downtown, hospital hill etc.

I thought the next phase was going to be nearly a mirror image of the first two buildings.

I know. Not a fan of the surface parking lots either. Structured parking is expensive to build/maintain. There have been expenses with the garage at Riverport Campus and as a result Cerner leadership won't sign off on any structured parking.

Looks to be a stereotypical suburban office park totaling about $70 Million in investment? Pretty stereotypical for cities without any real push for density. 4 low rise towers. Sea of parking. Am I close?

I have not been yet, but I just had a recommendation from a guy of Filipino background for Manila Bay Ihaw Ihaw across from the Home Depot. I'm not big on buffets, but I don't think you have to get food from the buffet. It is the only Filipino restaurant I know of in the city. I may try to get takeout there sometime in the near future as it would be great to have this type of cuisine around.

Forest Tyson Jr., owner of Kansas City construction firm Tycon Co. LLC, is seeking development plan approval for the 141-lot Tyson Summit single-family project northeast of 55th Street and I-435. Tyson's proposal for the 48-acre residential site also requires planning approval for the project and will be seeking a Chapter 353 property tax abatement to help "give people more house for the money."

The Parcel Viewer has a school district layer, makes it really easy to answer this kind of question. That's firmly in Raytown schools. The property abuts Eastwood Hills Elementary.

This development is closer to Independence, Center and KC schools in terms of travel distance than Hickman Mills.
